Hmmm Strange Girl!

Yes I think I must be a bit strange! Ok so as princess said PTs do seem to push you when everything says no (I'm sure it was the smile and muscles mind!) but today I still had a slight hint of soreness.

Schedule said 30mins in the gym so off I went. Another 10mins on the tready, bike and rower. All were OK for the 1st 5mins then required focus for the last 5mins. Craig was in the corner with another client and somehow this made me carry on! It was as if him just being there meant I HAD to do it otherwise I would be insulting him! Then again in a strange way when I finished and strolled back to the office (tee off flashing flesh (sorry!) due to being a tad over warm!) I felt rather smug and happy! Yes I was suffering from lack of recent exercise but I hadn't given up!

This week I have done 2 outside runs of 2.45m or 30mins. Last week I also did 2 runs. This week I am now thinking .... 72 days until RFL .... I could get a PB ... wonder if I could get to under 11mm pace? See strange! I'm only just doing 12mm pace and not even doing race distance and I'm thinking of PB's and dropping over 1min per mile off my pace!

As for marafuns - yes Benz I agree FLM is awesome (Bear wrote a perfect post) and I do want to do it again but I am so useless at fund raising that a gold bond place is a definite no. If I get a ballot place I will raise funds but just what I can without any pressure.

Talking of funds ... sponsored slim. Well we did have a lovely lady from Rosemary Conley start at work but the enthusiasm at work seems to have dropped dramatically and she wasn't here this week. I think she may just may pull out. Which means back to trying to motivate ourselves.

This week has been a bit of a mere food wise because I dropped some habits over the last week due to holiday and courses and getting back into them and a new much more active exercise schedule has thrown me big time. I think I am where I was at the beginning of April which is good as in any weight I did gain has gone but I am annoyed at myself. I mean I could have lost some weight surely?! Anyway I have been doing a food diary for Craig this week so I will see what he has to say! I WILL get there!

Right off to pack kit - 30mins run tomorrow plus Sainsbury!! Also need to locate clothes for work! So Nite All!

sounds like the pt been around the gym even when your not paying for the privelidge could be a good thing pix!!!
strange how things like that can make us push harder
like running past someone you know at the end of a long run you can always pick your feet up a bit no matter how hard it felt a moment ago!!
keep up the good work pix

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
